Roger Staubach – Age 78, $600 Million
Even as a football legend, people often pose the question, how is Roger Staubach so wealthy? In his playing days (1969 – 1979), professional football wasn’t a lucrative career, and Staubach’s first contract with the Dallas Cowboys saw him earning $25K annually.
But Staubach supplemented his income by working as a real estate agent, eventually starting his own company that he would, in 2008, sell for $640 million. The legendary Super Bowl winner is still recognized for his NFL exploits, though. He is at number 29 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Football Players.
